| − | Hydrogen Peroxide Uses in Agriculture In recent years, many new agricultural applications for hydrogen peroxide have emerged, from aquaculture to animal husbandry and even in combatting certain plant pathogens and improving harvest yields.

| − | Improving your plants
| |
| − | Scientists believe that plants want oxygen to survive, just as people do. The quantity of oxygen plants need should be over 20% or they will not survive.
| |
| − | Plant health and wellness vigor heavily depend on the roots getting sufficient oxygen, since the roots of a plant want oxygen to transform carbohydrates to energy. Consequently, vegetation are only able to produce fruit or vegetables equal in porportion to root development of the plant.

| − | Root Zone Aeration
| |
| − | A fast and easy method to increase oxygen to the root zone would be to aerate the fertilizer in the reservoir.
| |
| − | Including H2O2 is a powerful way to oxygenate nutrient solutions in reservoirs. An additional oxygen hydrogen atom is produced when water is added to H2O2.
| |
| − | The compounds then become very unstable and the additional 02 molecule separates leaving a greater measure of water and oxygen in the reservoir.

| − | Livestock and Poultry Uses of H2O2
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In many parts of the US farmers are making use of hydrogen peroxide in specialised drinking water supply methods for livestock and poultry, resulting in lower incidences of illness, increased milk and egg production and greatly eliminating the need for antibiotics in animal stock.

| − | Healing Damaged and Diseased Crops with Hydrogen Peroxide
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another improvement in H2O2 use in agriculture is within the fields themselves. Farmers have already been trying utilizing hydrogen peroxide foliar sprays on crops to reduce fungal diseases to improve crop viability in the early phases of plant growth.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In a single particular case, a farmer whose corn crop was destroyed by hailstones sprayed a hydrogen peroxide foliar spray on the broken crops as opposed to replant as all the surrounding farmers had, and experienced a full recovery of the crop within a few weeks without any replanting.

| |
| − | Moreover, lately work has been carried out to identify the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide in preventing the fungus which attacks banana trees. During these applications, hydrogen peroxide and a form of molasses are sprayed on the underside of the banana tree leaves to be able to apply the peroxide directly to the affected areas of the plants. This work is ongoing in places like the Philippine Islands, along with other tropical banana growing locations worldwide.

| − | Hydrogen Peroxide and Poultry
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the area of poultry health it is noted that the famous "bird man of Alcatraz" was utilizing hydrogen peroxide to achieve his ‘miraculous' healing of sick and injured birds. Many poultry farmers are discovering the good thing about including tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide to the watering systems for their birds.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Framers who've supplied poultry flocks with hydrogen peroxide in drinking water in specialised delivery systems which carefully regulate the quantity of peroxide in the water have described reduced incidence of in-flock predation (pecking disorder), healthier birds and increased egg production in laying hens.

| |
| − | Here is the good news there is a new product on the market - a improved slow release food grade hydrogen peroxide - to find out more please consider looking at - that typically makes you use half as much hydrogen peroxide and gives you five times as much oxygen to the plant.
